1 Introduction
The literature review part of this research starts with the concept of total quality management
and employee empowerment. After that critical discussions of the different theories relating to
this context have been added such as Kanter's, Kaizen, Lean Production and Employee
Empowerment Wheel, followed by the discussion on the different dimensions of total quality
management such as process thinking, customer satisfaction, and total employee commitment
and so on. The chapter ends with adding critical arguments and opinions of the previous
researchers regarding the impact of total quality management on employee empowerment.
This conceptual framework shows the aspects of the factors that affect the employee
empowerment such as the increased level of autonomy, higher flexibility, increased training
and development, consistent compensation, motivation and work environment contribute to the
formation of the consistent employee empowerment level in an organisation that ultimately
result in the creation of the desired level of the TQM for the pharma companies from
Bangladesh.
2.9 Conclusion
The underlying discussions highlight the fact that for employee empowerment their continuous
development and commitment are required which is the main concerning part of the total
quality management. The total quality management paves the way for consistent organisational
practice that ultimately results in a favourable environment for the employees having the
opportunity to foster their latent faculties. In brief, the literature review upholds the fact that
total quality management contributes significantly to employee empowerment.
